Broken toe with bruising and swelling. Symptoms include pain when the site of the fracture is gently pressed, [8] or when the toe is gently compressed along its length [3] or moved. [7] There may be bruising or swelling; [8] sometimes there is a crackling sound. [8]
Heat stroke or heatstroke, also known as sun-stroke, is a severe heat illness that results in a body temperature greater than 40.0 °C (104.0 °F), [4] along with red skin, headache, dizziness, and confusion. [2] Sweating is generally present in exertional heatstroke, but not in classic heatstroke. [5] The start of heat stroke can be sudden or ...
Heat stroke - Defined by a body temperature of greater than 40 °C (104 °F) due to environmental heat exposure with lack of thermoregulation. Symptoms include dry skin, rapid, strong pulse and dizziness. [7] Heat exhaustion - Can be a precursor of heatstroke; the symptoms include heavy sweating, rapid breathing and a fast, weak pulse.
Fracture blisters are tense vesicles or bullae that arise on markedly swollen skin directly overlying a fracture. Fracture blisters pop up in trauma patients, but are relatively rare and only occur in 2.9% of patients with a fracture requiring hospitalization. [ 3 ]
[7]: p15, 18, 72–73 At the end of a long journey on foot, the arches flatten, the metatarsals spread, and the foot swells more than after a short one. [7]: 52 The toes also need vertical space; a toe cap which is low enough to press on the top of the toe may also cause bruising under the nail, especially if the toe cap is stiff. If the toebox ...
A new analysis shows that Covid-19 patients may experience prolonged skin symptoms, with one patient reporting having "Covid toes" for six months. Covid toes could last for 150 days, new research ...
An early stage of hyperthermia can be "heat exhaustion" (or "heat prostration" or "heat stress"), whose symptoms can include heavy sweating, rapid breathing and a fast, weak pulse. If the condition progresses to heat stroke, then hot, dry skin is typical [2] as blood vessels dilate in an attempt to increase
While cuneiform fractures are fairly rare, the most commonly fractured cuneiform bone is the Medial cuneiform, typically the cause of a cuneiform fracture is by physical trauma (direct blow) to the cuneiform, as well as the result of an avulsion fracture and a result of axial load, [5] but can also be the result of a stress reaction that progressed with continued weight-bearing and physical ...
